Back in 2018, I posted an "old" and "new" Dagne Dover Charlie Tote comparison and discovered the existence of a third version—the post-March 2017 Charlie. Now that I have my hands on one, I'd like to share additional comparison photos to help demonstrate what to look for when evaluating secondhand Charlies. (Alas, the Charlie Tote style was discontinued by Dagne Dover in 2019.)
1. Charlie Without Emblem (released prior to March 2017):
- 13 ½"L x 6.25"W x 15"H, 9" handle strap drop, 3.6 lbs
- Colors include Ivy (FW15), Onyx, Bone, and Oxblood
- 13 ½"L x 6.25"W x 15"H, 9" handle strap drop, precise weight unknown (but likely 3.6 lbs at a minimum)
- Colors include Pale Peach (SS16), Steel Gray Suede (FW16), Onyx, Bone, and Oxblood
- 12 ½”L x 6”W x 15 ½H, 9" handle strap drop, 3.4 lbs
- Colors include Jasmine (SS17), Sand (SS17), Slate (FW17), Onyx, Bone, and Oxblood
I no longer own the emblem-free Charlie pictured above, but the only differences I noted at the time were a richer leather color on the emblem-free version and a two-ounce difference in weight. Click here to read more about it.
The differences between these versions and the 2017 version are more pronounced. Changes include:
- Reduced width/depth/weight, increased height
- No tassel
- Seam running down center of handles
- The bottom of the interior is lined with fabric instead of leather
- The laptop pocket zipper runs in the opposite direction
- The side interior pocket has leather trim
Pre-March 2017 (Oxblood), Post-March 2017 (Jasmine) |
